The
concept motorbike is the work of Israeli designer Amir Glinik, who centered
his design around the theoretical application of the Ferrari Enzo's V12 engine,
chopped down to four cylinders and modified to drive just one wheel in a
motorcycle frame. Around the V4 engine, Glinik has designed a fluid shape that
may appear more futuristic in its styling than inspired by current roadcar
designs, but certainly catches your attention. Glinik has even planned out the
theoretical controls, which blend elements from an F-16 fighter jet (more common
in his home country than Ferraris, anyway) and the Scuderia's high-tech Formula
One steering wheel, supplemented by a weatherproof touch-screen LCD atop the
fuel tank.
Onetime Ferrari designer Frank Stephenson, now at arch-rival McLaren, was quoted
as saying that the closest the average person will get to owning a Ferrari would
be a Ducati. True as that may be, what you see here may be the most well
thought-out and enticing application of the Ferrari ethos to two-wheeled
motoring we've seen yet. Follow
